It’s official.
After an extended flirtation, the New Orleans Pelicans have reached an agreement with Stan Van Gundy to become the 7th head coach in franchise history, signing him to a four-year contract.
I’m excited to join a talented New Orleans Pelicans team. It will be an honor to work with our players and to work for Mrs. Benson and David Griffin, Trajan Langdon, their staff and the great people of New Orleans. I can’t wait to talk to our players and get the process started
